My first entry is the Teaset I received early last year from my employer for a long service award. I chose the teaset from a vast selection of watches, Selberan gold chain or bracelet, Royal Selangor pewters and a lot of other items. A Vieux Luxembourg also known as Old Luxembourg teaset from Villeroy and Boch.
Some history on Villeroy and Boch extracted from wikipedia.
The company began in the tiny French village of Audun le Tiche, where François Boch set up a pottery company with his three sons in 1748. Later, the company moved to nearby Luxembourg, where it operated a porcelain factory until 2010. In 1801 the company moved to the nearby town of Mettlach, Germany. On 14 April 1836, the Jean François Boch company merged with that of a competitor, Nicolas Villeroy, and became Villeroy & Boch, V&B (also simply 'VB').
